In return, the Browns received the Bills' first-round and fourth-round picks for the 2015 draft.

Watkins is the biggest game-breaker of the receiving class, drawing comparisons to Calvin Johnson, who played in the same conference at Georgia Tech and went second overall to the Lions in 2007. At 6-foot-1 and 211 pounds, Watkins is not at big as "Megatron," but he's faster than almost anyone his size, and bigger than almost anyone who can run with him.

He caught 101 passes for 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Tigers last season, including a 227-yard receiving game against Ohio State in a rare BCS bowl victory for an ACC program. He can run after the catch and beat defenders deep, and as draft day approached he separated himself from the receiver pack and got himself into the discussion for the top-five overall picks.

Watkins was the No. 3 pick on Sporting News' final mock draft, and is the fourth-rated player on the Top 100 big board of Optimum Scouting's Eric Galko.
